At the end of the season, competitors who compete in this series are eligible for the Best Buy Points Champion which will be awarded at the Geek Squad Sound fest in October at the Madison TN location.

Brian Rozzo made his 2nd appearance in the MECA realm at this event. His Hyundai Tiburon has had on lookers staring at the massive amounts of modification done to this vehicle. His most recent modification is the Gull Wing door kit which adds a touch of class to an already awesome ride. He won 1st in Import Wild and Best of Show. Kenny Chatman (Twisted Mayhem) competed with his Chevy Monte Carlo in Domestic Mild for a 1st place finish also.
